First Reading: Isaiah 56:1, 6-7

1Thus says the Lord: Maintain justice, and do what is right, for soon my salvation will come, and my deliverance be revealed.
6And the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord, to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord, and to be his servants, all who keep the sabbath, and do not profane it, and hold fast my covenant-
7these I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.

Second Reading: Romans 11:13-15, 29-32

13Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry
14in order to make my own people jealous, and thus save some of them.
15For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead!
29for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
30Just as you were once disobedient to God but have now received mercy because of their disobedience,
31so they have now been disobedient in order that, by the mercy shown to you, they too may now receive mercy.
32For God has imprisoned all in disobedience so that he may be merciful to all.

Gospel: Matthew 15:21-28

21Jesus left that place and went away to the district of Tyre and Sidon.
22Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came out and started shouting, 'Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is tormented by a demon.'
23But he did not answer her at all. And his disciples came and urged him, saying, 'Send her away, for she keeps shouting after us.'
24He answered, 'I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.'
25But she came and knelt before him, saying, 'Lord, help me.'
26He answered, 'It is not fair to take the children"s food and throw it to the dogs.'
27She said, 'Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters" table.'
28Then Jesus answered her, 'Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.' And her daughter was healed instantly.
